But this is not an easy transformation. a decent looking gun to bot. Not a easy as say OP, and if they made it easy it would the bot mode would probably suck.

I guess i depends what you want from this

haha for the difficult toys such as rotf leader prime and fp m3, i just watch the videos step by step tbh...lol. the only thing i don't like about this figure is the process from when u unhook that piece attached to the lower torso. everything from that point on looks like it can snap so easily. i definitely love the bot mode.

Hey guys got some great news today from a post on Xtransbots site......
its says.............
Dear Fans and Retailers:
We've had a discussion regarding issues that have popped up with production sample reviews. We will address the elbow sliding mechanism and the bicep swivel at the factory before we ship to our retailers. The problem has been solved. Additionally, we'll include another set of tighter fitting ball sockets for the shoulders. All arms are able to hold the canon up without any issue but some arms seem loose holding it outward. If this is your experience, the replaceable sockets will fix that issue. We'll also include a small adapter for the extension canon's secondary mode. Finally, we'll include a small screwdriver with each figure for accessing the battery chamber and in case you need to replace the shoulder sockets. Apollyon will ship from our factory the last week of April. Your retailers should have them by early May. Thank you all for your patience, support and feedback. And thank you to the reviewers for their valuable input.

Lol yup that you pay prob $200 (guessing the range) for...

They should fix the issues themselves before shipping.

Uh ya. If I really wanted the figure....I could wait the extra time it would take them to fix it.

Ummmm.... you guys do realize that their response is trying to inform buyers that the loose shoulder socket is not a prevailing nor common issue, right? Only 1 of the 4 video reviews that have been released show an actual shoulder socket problem, 2 seem to be really good, and 1 was only moderately loose within reason in that you can't hold Apollyon by the end of his arm because the weight of the diecast throughout the rest of the figure is too heavy for the torso to remain in the socket. This is not an actual issue, this was allowed by design to facilitate transformation. What they're saying is that to address any other possible instances of loose shoulder sockets, they will be including tighter sockets for those that require them, but that most people will not likely have to use them. It's simply just a contingency piece.

The tightness in the bicep swivel was already determined to be a factory worker's assembly error for using the wrong sized screws and is isolated to Paik's sample. The units ready for mass release will not contain this discrepancy.

Supplying the precision screwdriver is just a convenient gesture of customer service intended primarily for ease of access to the battery compartment for the fusion cannon as batteries are not included, not to fix a problem. It's just a coincidence that the same tool can be used to service the shoulder sockets if required, but again, probably won't need to be serviced.

Totally agree. I prefer to get my Apollyon and realize the shoulders are loose and then have to bug my reseller for parts after I already received it. How dare they give me the parts I need to fix the issues ahead of time

Btw way, MP-24 Starsaber has loose forearms. Did I get a fix with it? NOPE! Will they give me fix? HELL NO!

After talking with a few of the people who have production samples already I'm happy to say none of them have this issue.
